The
Fall River Community Tennis Association
(CTA) held a Fall River Open Tennis Tournament on July 28th and 29th at
the Featherdic Tennis Club clay courts on Philips Street off of New
Boston Road. Men's and women's A, B and C and Juniors 8-12 divisions
were held throughout the weekend. Funded through a start-up grant from
the United States Tennis Association, the Fall River Community Tennis
Association was started by local tennis enthusiasts with a mission to
promote tennis participation in the Fall River Area. Members of the CTA
advocate for the renovation of the city's tennis courts, tennis
programming in schools, and increased adult participation. In 2007, the
CTA sponsored a high school summer league, a single and doubles league,
and the Fall River Open Tennis Tournament. Other CTA programs include
Welcome
Back to Tennis, a
tennis
block party and a
tennis
demonstration in 2006. For more information, contact the CTA at 508-801-5761 or e-mail CTA president
